Find a copy of your school's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

Look at the rules you should follow.

Why do you think work places and schools have Acceptable Use Policies?

Could your school's AUP be improved?

CLASSROOM IDEAS:

HOMEWORK - Set your students a piece of homework to ask their parents / carers to visit this web page and view the video: https://www.internetmatters.org/advice/11-13/

Role play - A student is walking down the street looking at their phone; other students could be cars, thieves etc. Draw attention to the risks from this and highlight that this is not using technology responsibly.

Ask students to write an Acceptable Use Policy.

Watch the Star Wars Kid YouTube videos and use this as a discussion point. This could be extended into a debate about responsible use. This video and the story behind it can be quite upsetting.
